START WHERE YOU ARE
Turn a room full of jobs into one next task
A chore wheel turns a room full of possibilities into one specific job. Start with short tasks you can finish in a single session. “Tidy one drawer” is more actionable than “organise the house”, and gives you a clear stopping point.
Cross a task off the wheel with Remove winner once it is done, then spin for another. For a household challenge, agree on the jobs first and take turns spinning. Random assignment does not automatically balance effort, so split large chores or agree on swaps together.
Build a chore list you can actually finish
A random cleaning task picker works best when every entry is clear and manageable. These examples give the wheel a useful scale.
The short reset
Try “put shoes away”, “clear the coffee table”, and “fold five items”. Small jobs let you finish one thing without turning it into an afternoon project. Pick tasks that fit the time you have, then stop after one or spin again.
One room at a time
For a kitchen round, list surfaces and small jobs rather than “clean kitchen”. Wipe the counter, unload the dishwasher, and sweep the floor are separate, visible finishes. Leave anything already completed off the wheel so the next spin always gives you something useful.
A shared household round
Let everyone agree on a shortlist, then take turns spinning for a task. To choose who goes next, use the random name picker. Keep the person draw separate from the chore draw so it is clear what each result means.
A random task is not automatically an equal workload
Watering a plant and scrubbing an oven each occupy one slice, even though they take very different effort. Split bigger jobs into smaller parts or keep a separate wheel for them. Short labels such as “clear one shelf” make the finish line visible before anyone spins.
Remove winner takes the selected task off the current list; it does not mark a job complete in a calendar. Leave the result open while you work, or delete the task from the editor afterwards. Keep a separate copy of a recurring list so you can paste it back next time.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Keeping your cleaning wheel useful
Can I put people’s names on the wheel instead?
Yes. Use names to choose a person for an agreed task, or use the dedicated Name picker page.
Is this a recurring chore schedule?
No. This version chooses tasks and remembers your list in this browser. It does not assign deadlines or send reminders.
Can I make a chore wheel for children?
Yes. Replace the sample jobs with tasks suited to the children taking part, such as putting books on a shelf or tidying toys. Agree on the choices together and keep tasks that need adult help clearly separate.
Why has the wheel stopped after several chores?
The wheel needs at least two entries to spin. When only one task remains, it is already your final choice. Finish that job or add new tasks. Restore sample brings back the original example chores and clears the result history.
